Me too!

*Another spoiler*

I remembered reading about the new fabric line ‘Modern Workshop” in Lisel’s Q & A with Amy at Badskirt. If you search the O + S site for modern workshop you should come up with a short piece describing the new fabric line, the book and the 3 new patterns.

*someone* just sent me a link to the O+S wholesale newsletter – it tells about the book, the new fabric (from the tiny pic, I’m loving it!!!!) and describes the 3 new patterns – with a pic of one of them

I’m grinning with joy! I’m going to the Houston Quilt show. And I think the book will be there? And I’ll get to see it! Who-Hoo! That’s going to make me happy for a while. Anyone want to join me next weekend? There have to be other Houston Oliver and S fans.

[babyjoy]

YES! JohannaO, I’m planning to be there (hubbie promised) do you live in houston? I do. Will there be an O+S booth?

[babyjoy]

OMG OMG I just read the newsletter and O + S will be at booth 1920… Can’t wait to see the debut of the new fabric. Will try to post pics next week.

Any juicy details you guys can legitimately post will be eagerly awaited! This is better than a mystery novel.

Where are you ladies pre-ordering from? Husband says once or twice before he’s known of an issue where Amazon didn’t get enough books to fill a pre-order demand and I would HATE for that to happen! Waiting anxiously for this one (oh, the vest, the poncho!)!!!!

[JohannaO]

Babyjoy, I’m up in Humble, but my son goes to school downtown, so there will be plenty of chances for me to go! Yippie. When will you be there? I was thinking of going sometime in the day on Friday, but we also go to church downtown, so I was thinking of going noon-ish on Sunday too.

How can you find out if there is a market being held in/around your area? I would love to go and drool over the new goodies!

I think there are three exhibitions each year- The calendar says Cincinnati, Long Beach, Salt Lake, but doesn’t have Houston for 2011. I don’t think that can be right though, because I’ve been for five or six years in a row now. If they are leaving Houston, I might have to make a fuss. (Not that that would matter, but it might make me feel better.)

[JohannaO]

I just read that there is also a quilt market/show in Chicago every year.

[Sarvi]

Boo, Long Beach isn’t until Summer 2011.

[aegean17]

I’ll be getting the blouse and shorts outfit!

I might have to check out the long beach exhibition – will O+S be there?

[eblythebrown]

Those new designs are totally making me impatient! I cant wait…as I wasnt the biggest fan of the winter collection….

[sayiamyou]

I’m looking forward to seeing more about these new shorts. I can’t decide from the picture. I’ll get the pattern no matter what though because the blouse is amazing! And just when I thought more dress patterns weren’t practical for me (my girl) new ones are released that I love! Sheesh. There is really not enough time to do all the sewing I want to do…
